Touch and go is necessary with large aircraft to save very expensive time when the objective is to confirm simulator training in the actual landing phase.
Even with touch and goes we used to leave the gear down to assist with brake cooling. Doing full-stops would greatly exacerbate that problem - and of course be costly in terms of brake and tyre wear.
